Recent research has highlighted a correlation between sensitivities or allergies to dairy products and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study, published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, explores the link between immune responses to dairy and heart health, while emphasizing that direct causality has not been established.
Role of IgE antibodies in cardiovascular diseases
The study followed two groups, totaling more than 5,000 adultsover periods of 14 and 19 years old. The results indicate that people producing immunoglobulin antibodies E (IgE) in response to the consumption of cow’s milk and other foods had a significantly higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease. These results take into account other cardiac risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and diabetes.
Impact of allergies and inflammation on the heart
Allergic reactions trigger an immune response, releasing substances like histamines and cytokines. These substances, although essential for fighting pathogens, can contribute to chronic inflammationa recognized factor in the development of cardiovascular diseasesincluding atherosclerosis.
IgE are antibodies produced in response to allergens, but the presence of IgE does not always result in allergic reactions.
Tips for people with food allergies
Currently, researchers do not recommend specific changes in diets or treatments for people with food-specific IgE. However, it is advisable to prioritize overall heart health through a balanced diet and regular physical activity, especially for those with a history of cardiovascular disease.
